From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
→Culture
The most important component of Attilan culture is the horse. The horses of Attila are hardy, compact and vicious animals, from which their riders may in adversity draw off small quantities blood to enable their riders to operate behind hostile lines for long periods. Each warrior carries proudly long scars on his cheeks, which he gets from his coming of age ritual. Into these scars ash is often rubbed, in order to create more impressive scarring. Attilans tend to wear their hair in long, unkempt braids, or long and matted.
Attilans are regarded as being as rank and unsanitary as [[Ogryn]]s, as they do not believe in washing, refusing to bathe or clean their clothesclothing. They believe that it is an insult to the spirits of water. This tradition has proven hard to break, despite considerable effort on the part of the [[Adeptus Ministorum]] preachers [[preacher]]s in the barely tolerated mission in Khanasan.
